A major Real Madrid supporters association has slammed Gareth Bale and his agent after comments made this week.
Jonathan Barnett, reacting to abuse his client received from fans at Real's Valdebebas training HQ last week, branded supporters "disgusting" for their treatment of the Wales captain.
In response, the 'Federación de Peñas Madridistas de la Comunidad de Madrid' released a statement hitting back at the British pair:
"From the Federation of Peñas Madridistas of the Community of Madrid we want to show all our rejection and condemnation of the words expressed by Jonathan Barnett this week during the First Meeting of European Agents held in the Ciudad del Fútbol.
"At that meeting, Gareth Bale's representative declared that 'It is irrelevant, I don't care what the Real Madrid fans think. Why should I be concerned? I think they were disgusting to Gareth Bale. They have behaved badly'.
"This is by no means the first time that the septuagenarian agent directs fierce criticism against Real Madrid as an institution or against white fans. The penultimate episode in which he demonstrated his notorious lack of education took place last year, when the object of his attacks was Zinedine Zidane, then coach of the white team: 'Zidane is a shame. He shows no respect for a player who has done so much for Real Madrid'. And it is that, on more than one occasion, the Briton has made it very clear that, according to him, all Real Madrid fans should put a red carpet for his client.
"Gareth Bale, who in his early years in the Madrid team lived a golden stage on and off the pitch despite his increasingly numerous injuries, has already caused boredom and boredom in the vast majority of our fans. And it could not be otherwise; This season, and due to his numerous absences for medical reasons, he has barely played 193 minutes with the club while whenever he has to play with his team he recovers in a surprising way to relapse at the end of his international commitments. We have been suffering from this situation for several years now, in which the footballer is only available to defend the Welsh shirt.
"We do not understand exactly what behavior Mr Barnett is referring to as the fans have no opportunity to express their opinion to the Cardiff striker. Recall that since it is not mandatory for players not called up to attend Real Madrid games, Gareth Bale has not attended any so the encounter between one and the other is absolutely non-existent. On the other hand, we believe that the still Real Madrid player should return a minimal part of what Real Madrid received and rectify the words of his representative (from whom, given his moral character, we cannot expect anything)."
